Albert Brengel

Albert Brengel (born February 28, 1896 in Mimbach (Blieskastel) , † July 24, 1967 in Saarbrücken ) was a German economist and work teacher .

In 1925 Brengel became a qualified commercial teacher , in 1931 he taught as a business graduate and commercial student adviser at the St. Ingbert commercial college . In 1937 Brengel began to work at the Ergonomics Institute of the German Labor Front (AWI). With his Heidelberg dissertation sponsored by the AWI in 1941, he created a new evaluation system for all types of wage labor , which corresponded to the ideological ideas of the National Socialist community . It represented an attempt to objectify the level of wages and thus to avoid the " class struggle ". Each type of activity was individually tested and scored according to difficulty. The sum was the basis of the wages. The Reichsverband der Deutschen Industrie found this system too abstract in relation to social reality; H. the market value of the labor was ignored and thus an important capitalist principle was disregarded. With Adolf Bauer, Brengel was able to introduce this system into the West German wage discussion about fair wages in 1948 by pursuing it in the NSU Neckarsulm works . His system was not pursued further in the following years.

In the mid-1950s, Brengel headed the Saarland state seminar for commercial school trainees and was senior director of studies at the Saarbrücken commercial school .
